  Like some others could not find chipotle paste but Tesco do an own brand "fajita paste" which worked nicely. Lovely flavour and the torn chicken makes a nice difference! Found the dish a little too watery so would not bother adding a tomato can of water to thicken up to more of a sauce - but that may be personal taste. I'm not a fan of coriander so used dried parsley which worked just fine. Lime quinoa was a lush accompaniment!

  Very easy to make, delicious, and went down extremely well with the gf, highly recommended. Quinoa is a great alternative to rice.

  My first time making quinoa and very happy to have given it a go. Couldn't find chipotle sauce so used some chilli flakes and a dash of taco seasoning - ok but will keep an eye out for the chipotle. I cut the amounts down to 3 chicken breast, 1 can of tomatoes and a splash of water and it was still enough for dinner for two with leftovers for both of us to take to work.

  Firm favourite in our house, have cooked many times! Have cooked for guests who also loved it and asked for the recipe. So tasty and great when your watching calories and fat. We love the chipotle so add more of this. I also add some garlic and a low salt chicken stock cube to the stew. We also prefer the beans in the actual stew itself, just seems to work well. On a few occasions I couldnt find tinned pinto beans (dont have time to soak and cook dry pinto beans) so I used a tin of mixed beans in a spicy tomato sauce and these worked surprisingly well! Either serve with the quinoa or brown rice with the lime and corriander. Delicious!

  3 tbsps of chipotle paste?! My sister made this for the family and asked whether we really needed that much but we said we'll be fine. Must say it was very amusing to see everyone sweating, dabbing and fanning themselves like mad during the entire course of the meal- even my eyes were sweating- my make up had run! Still a very delicious meal, don't think we could cope with that much chipotle paste again though!

  This was ok. I was a bit dubious about the amount of kick chipotle paste would do to the other flavours, and as I suspected, it was overkill. I would also recommend cooking this for a little longer on a low heat to ensure the chicken becomes much more flavoursome and is easy to shred. Could also do with adding some extra beans, a few more onions and a touch of tomato puree to enrich the sauce. The quinoa on the other hand was superb. I have had trouble before trying to add flavour to this rather bland ingredient, but this combination really hit the mark for me.

  What a lovely tea. It was a little fiddly but well worth it. We didn't change a thing. It was perfect just as it was.

  Have to question the amount of chipotle. Having used before I adjusted and use 3 tsps (and was halving the recipe for two) found this very hot, would go for 2 tsps next time. The yoghurt was needed (a lot!!) that said I enjoyed it and would defo make again, just a little less spicy!

  Kudos to Peter Joseph who, it would appear, chucked the whole jar of the paste in. I was a bit liberal with the teaspoon and bunged slightly more than several heaped teaspoons in. It does have a kick to it. Don't lick the teaspoon by the way, unless you like a really hot mouth. Eventually found the paste in Waitrose; its a different world. '10 items or fewer', says it all really. Very nice combination of flavours. I might be less enthusiastic with the teaspoon next time. But there will definitely be a next time.
